2. Safety Information

• Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 250 kilograms (approximately 550 lbs) per chair.
• Stable Surface: Always place chairs on a flat, stable, and level surface to prevent tipping.
• Children: Supervise children when they are near or using the chairs to prevent accidents.
• Moving Chairs: When moving chairs, lift them rather than dragging to prevent damage to the floor or the chair's glides.
• Stacking: Stack chairs carefully, up to a maximum of 8 high, to ensure stability and prevent collapse.
• Outdoor Use: While designed for outdoor use, extreme weather conditions (e.g., strong winds, heavy snow) may require chairs to be secured or stored indoors.
• Proposition 65 Warning: This product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

3.1 Unboxing

1. Carefully open the packaging. Note that two chairs are typically shipped in one box.
2. Remove all packing materials.
3. Inspect chairs for any signs of damage during transit. If damage is found, contact customer support immediately.

3.2 Placement Considerations

• Indoor Use: Place chairs on any hard floor surface. The nylon glides on the feet are designed to protect your floors from scratches.
• Outdoor Use: Ideal for patios, decks, and gardens. The chairs are UV and weather-resistant.
• Airflow: The open slat design promotes better airflow, making them comfortable in warmer conditions.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Using the Chairs

The Safco CoGo Steel Chairs are designed for comfortable seating. Simply sit on the chair. The slatted seat and back are curved for ergonomic comfort.

4.2 Stacking for Storage

These chairs are stackable, allowing for efficient storage when not in use or when clearing space. They can be stacked up to 8 chairs high.

1. Ensure chairs are clean and dry before stacking.
2. Carefully lift one chair and place it directly on top of another, aligning the legs and seats.
3. Continue stacking up to a maximum of 8 chairs.
4. Store stacked chairs in a stable location to prevent accidental tipping.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Safco CoGo Steel Chairs.

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent water spots, especially after outdoor use.
• Finish Protection: The chairs feature a durable scratch-resistant powder coat finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the finish.
• UV Protection: Integrated UV protection helps resist color fading, but prolonged exposure to intense direct sunlight over many years may still cause some minor fading.
• Winter Storage (Outdoor Use): While weather-resistant, storing chairs indoors or under cover during harsh winter conditions (e.g., heavy snow, freezing rain) can further prolong their lifespan.
• Glides: Periodically check the nylon glides on the feet for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to continue protecting your floors.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Chair Wobbles

• Cause: Uneven floor surface.
• Solution: Move the chair to a flat, level surface.
• Cause: Damaged or worn glides.
• Solution: Inspect the nylon glides on the bottom of each leg. If any are missing or severely worn, contact Safco customer support for replacements.

6.2 Scratches on Floor

• Cause: Missing or damaged nylon glides.
• Solution: Ensure all four legs have intact nylon glides. Replace any damaged glides. Avoid dragging chairs; always lift them when moving.

6.3 Fading Color (Outdoor)

• Cause: Prolonged exposure to extreme direct sunlight.
• Solution: While the chairs have UV protection, placing them in shaded areas or covering them during periods of intense sun can help preserve the color over many years.
